Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns

You can't get this kind'a gearhead awesomesauce without a license... or a warrant... The Garage Hour goons assembled at Location A for an hour of hard parts and broken bits. The Diesel Ayatollah and Gringo Rich performed a complete Harbor Freight compressor teardown during the show, much to Hostus Maximus Justin Fort's chagrin (poor bastard was trying to run a show...).

Once the fleer diaphragm and hoseplot dialopter were adjusted to spec, however, it was all trucks and rocks and bonk, with extensive tales from the depths of high-mountain Colorado. Nothing like a weeklong diet of boulders, scree fields, knobby tires, murderous hyraxes and brewery after brewery to make the Ouray-Silverton-Durango off-roading mecca go like a champ - one of the best FJ Summits in memory. Thanks to Rock Hound Off-Road and Marlin Crawler for making getting there (and get-back) possible.

Download yourself some Garage Hour now before Uncle Donald summons the Gearhead Consultancy to the Oval Office (because everything goes better in the garage).

Breweries, wineries, meaderies, cideries, sakeries, distilleries, cofferies, salseries - it must be another episode in the Beeralani Makers' District with Protector Brewing.

The Garage Hour goons link up with Protector point-man and retired SEAL Sean Hannity... sorry, Haggerty... for an hour of fine sippin' with good beers, including the Beast, Pineapple Grenade IPA - .45 Phil's new favorite - and Punisher Pils. Haggerty, .45 and a Canadian tourist also trade tales of things they brewerd and drank in Iraq, including Protector's first beer, a heff brewed in Ramadi called the Baghdad Special. Then the cohosts kung-fu fight over fresh, delicious Mister G's salsa (courtesy of Mike the Duck).

From there, it's trucks and guns - Hostus Maximus and the Diesel Ayatollah go to town on trail-prep for a big run to Colorado's highlands, and everyone shares stories of their favorite assault rifle (It's a trick; get it? Anything you assault anyone with is an assault thing. Hit somebody with your phone and it's an assault phone. Hit someone with a meatball and you're an Italian grandmother. Grammar: use it right.)

It's the Garage Hour - because gearhead.
